A series of explosions were heard early on Friday with only a short time separating them in Lattakia city in Syria. They later turned out to be the result of a number of rockets which hit a military barrack in Al-Samia village, only 20 kilometers away from Lattakia.
A military source told Al-Manar website that the rockets were fired from hotspots in the northern countryside, considering that they were likely fired from “Salma” region”.

The Syrian Arab Army is advancing in Old Homs neighborhoods, and this is part of its plan drawn to regain the whole city and cleanse it from armed groups.
Al-Manar camera accompanied the Army in one of its advances, and shot live scenes from the battlefield.

Russia has called on the United Nation Security Council (UNSC) to probe reports that massive arms stockpiled by former Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi are making their way to foreign-sponsored militants in Syria.
“Russia applied to the UNSC Committee overseeing sanctions against Libya asking to initiate an investigation of the information (about the alleged arms supply to the Syrian opposition from Libya)…,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
”If this information is correct, it means a severe violation of international embargo imposed on Libya,” the statement added.
On June 21, the New York Times reported that the evidence collected in Syria together with flight-control data and interviews with militia members, smugglers, militants, analysts and officials in several countries attest to the fact that a great deal of effort, spearheaded and financed by Qatar, is underway to transport arms from Libya to Syrian anti-government gunmen.
